I'm Jennifer Knipp - Language Arts teacher at Revere High School. I am training for a 1/2 marathon right now. I suppose that's unique because I don't know anyone personally who has "competed" in a 1/2 marathon at this point!

Someday I want to build a human-powered plane and fly it. Not planning to fly it in restricted air space, so hopefully I won't get shot down for violating any "Homeland Security" regulations! Building/creating things is in my blood, which is why teaching the Industrial Arts fits me well. I started out my teaching career teaching a 3rd/4th grade multi-age classroom.
